Get donations going to keep Melon64 up??? I'm in for $20 US

I read this in the Melon64 forum in the past. I ordered these chips from digikey but never used any yet, just in case I need them. Believe you can use them to replace bad C64 chips. Is there a list someplace that shows modern equivalents? I thought the important parts was 74LS257, etc. And that the ...

Another snip

I snipped this from the 1986 Sharp-Mos semiconductor data book, don't know if it will help or not. By the way, you aren't using a stock c64 power supply are you? If so, get away from it, they kill before they die. Think they take out the RAM chips first.

Get yourself a composite cable, can get one cheap online. RF modulator could be the issue, but you don't want to use RF unless you have to anyway. Composite cable may solve all your problems. Is Australia PAL? Is Commodore PAL?

Tested it out last night, very cool.

Can the 1660 Commodore modem be converted or used for something useful these days? Have one in my stash and was just wondering.

They look like a completely different layout, the c64 board has joystick ports, serial ports, etc... right on the board, looks like the sx-64 might use a header on the board and routes the ports to the back of the sx-64. Don't think you'll be able to simply swap boards.

I got mine off ebay, make sure it says PLAnkton and the seller is eslapion. You may be able to contact him direct and get one also.

Don't know if I needed it or not. The 1571 is new to me and was just trying to write disc using the -i switch to tell it to use the index hole. Using without the -i doesn't give me an error, but I found I cannot write any discs using the -i switch. Nibread is fine with the -i switch.
